Re: Challenge 1115: New Zealand coffee
Seems definitely car boot week this week Loyd. 
I've run a bit dry on this one. Hopefully something will spring to mind. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

That's a truly splendid machine Ben! Gorgeous! Although I should point out that Tweede Kamer is better known for an entirely different product .........  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Thanks David, bit of an effort this one, just out of hospital with pneumonia. Little problems like having monitor in night light mode. I had considered "Blend your own" |

Re: Challenge 1115: New Zealand coffee
When I saw the brief photo, I thought it was a great challenge for a 3D model however a good dose of life's reality has hindered my modelling process this week. I'll post what I've done so far as the remainder of the week is far too busy to complete the model.  _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 1115: New Zealand coffee
So I added a model of Peanut with Zbrush fiber applied to it, just to add a bit of life to my uncompleted model.

Re: Challenge 1115: New Zealand coffee
I then used my image as a director, with prompt, in ai to see what I would get if I prompted ai for a coffee craving Peanut addict. I also included the brief photo...and this is what I got.  _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Re: Challenge 1115: New Zealand coffee
Loyd that’s brilliant! For me the blade has always been an unwanted problem. I did try a saw bench but too much of the machine got hidden under the table. When I look at yours it seems so totally obvious, almost inevitable ........ but I know I would never have thought of it. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 1115: New Zealand coffee
To do what you have done in such a short time to me is astonishing. I find 3D modelling very slow and difficult. It's beautifully done. The version with Peanut is lovely too and very convincing, with a lovely muted palette and contrast. I am well aware that you posted the AI tongue in cheek and not as an exemplary model of wonderful it can be. Just as well. It's like a compendium of negative AI aspects. If had to pick one word it would be CRUDE, (the capitals are intentional). Everything about it, pose, expression, colouring, lighting, is overdone, cheap, vulgar, flashiness. OK ...... it's a cartoon image and one could argue much of it is intentional ......... but even so ........... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Tooquilos, I have had enough of a go at AI with Dennis already. I don't want to repeat myself. This is much more restrained and better integrated but I still can't help feeling that the very talented Anna has been subsumed by her medium. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

I suddenly realise I have been talking far too much! 
Sorry. Not my intention, but I found some of this week's entries very thought provoking. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
